UPS Appoints Scott Price Chief Transformation Officer
November 29 2017 - 4:15PM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced Scott A. Price will join the
company as Chief Transformation Officer, effective December 11,
2017. He will also join the UPS Management Committee, the company’s
senior-most leadership group. Price will report to UPS Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer David Abney and will be based at the
company’s global headquarters in Atlanta.
Price is currently Executive Vice President, Global Leverage for
Walmart, based in Bentonville, AR. He has extensive corporate
leadership experience in senior roles for Walmart, DHL Express
International and The Coca-Cola Company, spanning his near 30-year
professional career. He has deep international credentials
and served in country marketing, country operations, regional
senior operations and regional administrative management roles in
both Asia and Europe for previous employers. Price is
credited with restructuring operations, driving significant
acquisitions and leading expansive growth in past
assignments. He brings broad international operations,
transportation, logistics, procurement, I.T. and supply chain
experience to his new role at
UPS.
The UPS Chief Transformation Officer role is a newly created
position and Price is charged with driving and facilitating
organizational change that will help UPS to both identify and
execute opportunities for profitable growth within its existing
business units and in yet-untapped markets and product
segments. The company is establishing this role to accelerate
its transformation by identifying strategies to prioritize
resources and direct investment for the greatest strategic benefit
and long-term shareholder return. Early in 2017, the company
announced plans for extensive upgrades to its Smart Global
Logistics Network, enhancing capacity and efficiency through the
use of state-of-the-art processes, information technology and
automation.
“Scott has a proven track record of driving and facilitating
organizational change at large complex multinational corporations
where growth beyond the mature core business was imperative for the
company to remain on a path to long-term success,” said
Abney. “His diverse career experience will be invaluable as
he helps UPS leaders move quickly with the implementation of
highly-concentrated growth projects as well as related
transformation.”
